NEW YORK, March l.-Thcre la no
reason why the American Foot Ball as
oclatton and tbe American Amateur
Foot Ball association should not get to
gether and brine about an adjustment
of their difference, but Just when mat
ters were going along nicely aomo time
ago In conference looking to a settle
ment of the matter In dlapule the Amer.
lean Foot Hall atsoclatlon decided to ilia
charge Its committee that had been work
ing with that end In view In conjunct.on
with a like representative committee
from tho American Amateur Foot Ball
association.
In order to obtain International recog
nition It la Imperative that a settlement
should be reached, as It la Impossible,
according to the condition of affairs at
the present time, to enter or toko part
Ii any International contests, Tho Amor,
lean Foot Dall association claims con
trolling power over a majority of the
leagues and association by affiliation,
while the Amortcan Amateur Foot Ball
association holds tho upper hand In the
amateur ranks.
Or. Manning of this city, an enthusias
tic supporter of the game, has been work
in!, energetically to bring the two bodies
to an amicable understanding, hut with
little success so far. At a recent meeting
Of tho American Foot Dall association,
J)r, Manning advocated the formation of
a national body which should control the
voccer gnrae, professional and amateur,
throughout tho United States,
flettlunieiit Is Needed.
Another evidence of the need of an im
mediate settlement Is' gathered from the
fact that Fred A. Darter, president of
the Dominion Foot Uall association of
Canada, who returned recently from Ku
rope, has inado the announcement that
he had secured affiliation with the In
ternational Federation of Foot nail Clubs.
At a banquet tendered Mr. Darter on
his return to Montreal by soccer fans
he spoke of the Inception of the Dominion
Foot Dall association movement and
stated that Canada had been received
Into affiliation by the International fed
eration on tho same day as Chill had been
received. He further stated that he had
tho promise of professional teams to tour
Canada iext year. F. A- Wall, sccro
tnry of the foot ball association (lim
ited), had consented to select the first
team to visit Canada, while It was prob
able that the following year more than
one team would visit tho Dominion.
He also stated that he had received a
letter from President Jones of the New
Ontario Foot Ball association, the cam
pion team of which won the people's
shield at Winnipeg last year, pledging
allegiance to the Dominion Foot Ball as
soclatton.

WOULD NUMBERALL PLAYERS
Foot Ball Followers Believe Whole
Eleven Shonld Be Marked.
MOVEMENT IS VOTED DOWN
Consplonons Designation of Players
Would Instantly Enable Opposi
tion to Dlntnioan Secret
Construction.
NEW YORK, March l.-Foot ball pol
itics played behind closed doors are fre
quently as Interesting as a game In a
big tollego stadium. But unfortunately
the public sees nothing and hears little
more of the cross table battle. At the
meeting of the foot ball rules committee
held in this city recently there were a
number of points raised In which the
spectators at the annual gridiron con
test were considered. Aside from a short
ynopsls of the finding, however, there
Was no explanation advanced for the
ruling on the proposed changes.
The one suggested Innovation In tho
code which was of greatest Interest to
the foot ball spectators and which failed
of adoption was the plan providing for
the numbering of each and every player
In the game, numbered square on his
back, to correspond with similar figures
attached to his name on the program
and on the score board. Owing to the
use of protective armor and other
identity-concealing devices it Is at the
present time almost Impossible for the
average spectator 'to distinguish one
player from another. It frequently hap
pens that players making sensational
runs or scoring toyohdowns are de
prived of the credit for the same be
cause of the Inability of both press and
public to correctly Identify the man with
tho ball,
la Voted Down.
It was therefore with keen rrt. .
viewed by the man In the street, that
the proposal to number the players was
voted down. Little or no attempt was
mnna ia nvni.iu . i. . ...
... , tHmlll i,,c reaBOns ior tills ac
tion, which nevertheless were based on
excollent grounds, when viewed from the
standpoint of coach and player. It de
veloped that the motion was decisively
"emeu in me committee, because of the
strong arguments, which were ndvanced
ny tne negative side. The contention was
that such a conspicuous designation of
each player would Instantly enable op
ponents to dlagose the secret construc
tion and defeat the object of almost every
piay usea during the game. It was
pointed out that such a clear Indication
In advance of the proposed movo would
eliminate the elements of strategy and
tactics, which Is one of the most Im
portant features of American foot ball
today.
In discussing the uctlon of the recent j
meeting, u well posted authority pointed
out some of rthe suggestions and the rea
sons for their adoption or rejection. For
Instance, It wns proposed by Ynlo that
each of the four periods of the game
be lengthened by two minutes. This
suggestion Immediately aroused the an
tagonism of tho western university dele
gates, who pointed out that It would
work a severe hardship on their teams
because of the fact that those of the
Western conference were called upon to
play at least one hard game each week,
whereas in the east the schedules con
sist In the main of praotlo games, Willi
but two or three gruetllng contests well
separated. Consequently the motion was
lost,
Would AbolUh lunt-Ont.
Dartmouth suggested that It might be '
well to abolish the punt-out, but failed
to advance, any specirtc or valid reasons
for the change, and It was decided that
it would be impolitic to drop such a his
toric feature of American foot ball until
such time as more satisfactory arguments
could be advanced In favor of the move.
The Prtneeton representatives favored the
removal of the goal posts from the goal
line to a point on the terminal II lie ot
the field, the Idea being that such action
would remove the danger Of personal In
Jury to players during scrimmage within
a few feet of the goal line and In close
proximity to the base of the goal posts.
This motion was also lost, alter consid
erable debate, In which It was pointed
out that with the. exception of the tn-
I Jury received by Kddle Hart,' the former
Princeton captain, while a student at
Exeter, there had been no serious acci
dents due to contact with the goal posts,
and that such a move would only serve
to discourage puntouts, force teams scor
ing touchdowns to kick greater distances
for goals and generally upset the present
goal kicking department of the game.
Remove Restrictions.
Among the suggestions adopted was a
i proposition to remove the five-yard
restrictions upon kicks behind the line ot
t scrimmage. This amendment came from
i Princeton, and was accepted with the
idea that the new alteration In the rules
wilt permit the getting away ot a quick
kick from a point directly behind the line,
thus enabling the eleven on the offensj
to strengthen Its attack. This in reality
was one ot the most radical moves of the
meeting, and it la thought win result in

The proposal of Dr. Williams of Min
nesota which permits the resubstltutlon

quarter of the gamo was also adoptcl
after the Western college delegates ha-J
advanced strong and convincing argu
ments In support of the move. It was ex
plained that tho middle west colleges
and universities did not have the amoun.
of foot ball material that was available
(rt tho larger eastern tnctttutlons, nnd that
under the previous rules they did not
dare to withdraw a valuable player tn
hold one withdrawn past the beginning of
the fourth period through the fear that
they would be trapped In a predicament
from which there wns no escape. Pennsyl
vanta went nveli further and asked that
tho rule be changed to permit unlimited
substitution and resubstltutlon at any
time regardless of the Btage of the game,
This move, however, was thought to W
too radical and so the Minnesota sug.
gestton was adopted as a compromise.

DO ATHLETESJIE YOUNG?
Author in Medical Journal Declare;
that They Do.
BUT DOCTOR DENIES STATEMENT
Sara that He Has Statistics to Shorr
There Is No Fonndatlon to Story
and Trnlnlnnr Makes
Ilenltlly Men.
NEW YORK, March L The author of
an article In the Journal of the American
Medical Association, which charges that
American college athletes die young be
cause of the training system followed,
have started a lively debate on tho merits
of the training methods employed In the
prominent colleges' In this country. The
coaches and trainers who have been
priding themselves on the development
of a system that enabled them to turn
out the best athletes in the world havo
come right back in defence of tholr
methods In an effort to ward off the
blow that was aimed at the very root
of the system that has made America
great In athletlo competitions.
Get Too Strenuoua.
The article stateB that men who make
the great records seldom live beyond
middle age; that sprinters frequently die
of heart failure before they are 40. "In
stead of building up the body, the pre
vailing methods ot training tends to
break It down," the article reads.
"Europeans have a far happier expres
sion for the employment of their bodily
activities In" tho word ' 'sport,' which Im
plies the combination of a healthy spirit
with what we call exercise. Such an at
titude Is almost unknown here.- Instend,
there exists a form of overdoing that
finds its chief reward In the, applause
of the multitude and later physical
trouble.
"Athletics have long been under the
influence of so-called 'trainers,' fre
quently, men of keen Judgment and tech
nical skill, but without any systematic
acquaintance with physical truths. Tho
best Intellectual feature of rival contests
the encouragement for each man to put
forth the best that Is In htm and to ex
ercise his own Ingenuity In the develop
ment and maintenance of an efficient,
superior body Is suppressed by the ad
vent of that guardian saint, the trainer."
Are LoiiK-Llved.
Replying to the statement, Dr. R. Tatt
McKenzle, one of the most noted men in
the world on physical development, said:
"I have statistics of the men who have
won the "Y" at Yale, the oarsmen at
Harvard for many years, the track and
field men of Oxford and Cambridge,
many club runners, Jumpers and vault
ers, and they prove past all doubt that
the athlete lives longer than the average
man. Insurance companies, the closest
tabulators of facts, assert that the ath
lete outlives the average man. Now and
then a sprinter dies at 30 from heart
trouble, but he would probably have died
at Z had he not taken up athletics. I
am firmly in favor of athletics as a pro
longer of life, health and manhood, and
a general benefit to all communities."
